    E4 is readily available on Sky :confused::confused:

    For some weird reason not on FreeSat. Or not last time I looked, it is if you pay SKY any money - Just with an inherited dish, ebayed box and no contract I can live without it... Film 4's there though.

    Yeah just make sure only to pay off the minimum on the Vanquis each month so there'll be more cash around each month to buy the games or pay-per-view boxing matches :D

    If you still have your dish, get a FreeSat card (about £25, lasts (theoretically) for ever) and then you can watch all the FTA channels through Sky.

    I can't see that paying an extra £228 per year is worth it really. If there is nothing on you want to watch, go for a walk instead! ;)
